Can I add an ADU?

Accessory dwelling units are regulated in Article IV Sections 4.3.6(5) and 4.3.6(6). Exact attached and detached standards are review-gated to the Article IV snapshots before import. This pack covers incorporated Fate city limits only. Article I, Section 36-1.4 applies the UDO to land inside the corporate boundaries and applies ETJ provisions only to subdivision and development authority. Texas cities may not zone ETJ land under current Texas law, and Texas counties do not provide general zoning. ETJ and unincorporated Rockwall County parcels are out of scope for zoning answers.
